Minimum Installation Requirements
TDV has these resource requirement
Disk Space: Minimum of 8 GB read/write, persistent storage.
2.0 GB for TDV installation
1.0 GB for the TDV repository database
5.0 GB for future growth (e.g. default TDV temp directory, TDV VCS data, logs, file cached data, and future TDV patch/Java/repository software updates)
Memory: Minimum of 8 GB memory.
CPU: Minimum of 2 CPUs/cores.
For larger TDV deployments, please refer to Sizing Guidelines for TDV. Additionally, larger TDV deployment above the “small” configuration will need to consider if changes to the following areas are required or not.
Additional storage configuration
This section discusses the additional storage configuration required for TDV, beyond the default installation configuration.
TDV temp directory
By default, TDV creates a temp directory under the TDV installation directory.
For production TDV configurations, you should ensure the TDV temp directory has access to at least 10GB of storage or more in order to better handle large query processing, file caching, etc. For information about those configuration parameters, see the TDV Administration Guide.
TDV Version Control System (VCS) directory:
By default, TDV creates a VCS directory under the TDV installation directory.
For development or production DV deployments that use VCS, the following additional storage requirements need to be met.
Note: If your TDV deployment doesn't meet the storage requirements for VCS then you will need to reconfigure it to point to another storage location. Refer to the Administration Guide, chapter “Using Version Control and TDV” for instructions on how to manage the TDV data directory.
1.2 GB of additional free space per TDV user is required for this setting. Different types of resources require different amounts of space to store. We recommend that you use 12KB per resource as a rough storage guideline.
The following guidelines will help you figure out how to calculate your VCS directory storage needs.
If you have 100,000 resources, we recommend 1.2GB of space available for storing resources.
If you expect a large amount of check-ins to the VCS directory, we recommend that you allocate additional space in the VCS directory area which lives under the TDV installation (INSTALL_DIR\data\vcs). Typically, changes within version control systems are stored as textual diffs. Textual diffs can add up over time.
